I actually do have other games that use the SDL library, as, I remembered that being installed; so, I did a search for it in the Synaptic Package Manager and noticed that there are several different "flavors" of it available for install. I noticed that libsdl1.2debian-alsa, Simple DirectMedia Layer (with X11 and ALSA options), was the one currently installed; so, I marked the one above it, which is libsdl1.2debian-all, Simple DirectMedia Layer (with all available options), and it removed that other one when it installed. I will test that and see if it makes any difference at all. I have several games that are x11 installed, so, it probably chose that package because of that; but, I would rather play the 2600 roms than those games. I will report back later with an update on how it is working. Thank you for your help.

I am using Ubuntu Gusty Gibbon (Ubuntu 7.10) with Stella 2.4.2 and am having the following issue with it. When I load a rom and play it for awhile it locks up Stella (i.e. the game just freezes/stops working) and I have to do a force quit to get Stella to close when not in full screen mode. In full screen mode I am not able to get the program to stop running to get back to the desktop, and I do not know how to force quit without being able to see/use the force quit button, and thus am forced to do a hard reboot of my computer. It seems to happens at random time intervals, and, with a lot of different roms. Am I the only one having this problem with Stella 2.4.2 under Ubuntu 7.10? Is this something I can fix? Do I need to stop using Stella completely and use something that works with Linux better, and, if so what would that be? Any help I can get will be appreciated.
